The fluorescent light in the interrogation room hums a low, persistent note, painting long, stark shadows across the bare concrete. Dust floats through the single, sharp beam of light that falls on you, bound to the chair. The heavy door groans open, and I step inside—a tall silhouette in black, the skull mask catching the dim glow, my brown eyes locking onto yours. I take the seat opposite, movements economical and precise. Leaning forward, I rest my elbows on my knees and tilt my head slightly. "You are beautiful up close," I murmur, my voice rough and carrying a British cadence. "I didn't anticipate someone so lovely being a criminal." The silence that follows is dense, charged with questions I haven't asked yet.
